Water bills tend to soar this time of year as the sun starts to appear in Western Washington. Especially in places like King County, including cities such as Seattle, Renton, Kent, and so on. It’s easy to overlook the cost saving rebates available to help offset your increasing utility bill. We thought we’d point out a few that you should take a look at. If you don’t see your city or county listed, hopefully this will inspire you to look further.
Seattle and other cities partner with the Saving Water Partnership which points you to various types of rebates, and quite a few around sprinkler and irrigation upgrades and replacements. For example, one of their residential rebates, available between April 1st and October 31st offers up to $100 when you replace an old sprinkler timer.
This is just one of many opportunities to save. They are a great resource for other savings from toilet replacement, energy efficiency, cisterns and rain gardens, and other conservation upgrades. Other regional conservation programs can be found at:Â
Sound Generations, Minor Home Repair is unique as it helps low-income and disabled homeowners. Also, if you own a business in King County, South King County or Pierce County, you should also look into rebate options. Replacing toilets may not be exciting, but saving money would be!
Detect and Chase Down Leaks – Home Checklist
At the end of the day, it’s important to do a little check-up around your home to ensure money isn’t literally going down the drain. Running toilets, leaky faucets or water hose connections, sprinklers that aren’t on timers, and so on, are known for adding to the already higher than usual water use – this time of year.
With everything in our world being more expensive over the past year, all of us are looking to save money, especially in areas that aren’t as rewarding as planning a vacation or buying that new car. Hopefully these reminders, tips, and rebate resources will help offset those expenses so you can spend your hard earned money where you want to.
